I vastly preferred the lack of context. The context is extremely depressing lol.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 79 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Always remember to add "lol" to the end of dark and depressing statements to make people less worried about you lol

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 25 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That's just how we depressed people roll lol

It's lol all the way down lol

This is why childhood trauma is so damaging. You have nothing to compare to so whatever you experience as a child becomes the foundation of your mind.

Babies scream because whatever they're experiencing is literally the worst thing that's ever happened to them.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 35 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well today I got screamed at because my 18 month old handed me a long string of beads that was wadded into a bunch of tangled knots and I untangled them. I don't know what I was supposed to do but apparently that wasn't it.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago

I know what I said.

[–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 32 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Whenever I see a toddler with a cold or the flu, I feel extra bad for them. They're all congested, sneezing, coughing, possibly pinwheeling in the bathroom... a lot of them have never felt worse than that, and it's like, "I'm so sorry. You've got decades more of this to look forward to, little friend"

One of many reasons I'm not having kids.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

They're pretty well right about it when they're just born.

[–] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 84 points 8 months ago (1 children)

My toddler screamed at ear hurting levels because Mom forgot her hug. Chill is not the word I would use to describe most toddlers.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 41 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I prefer fire alarms. They are either at full chill, or complete panic. Very little in-between.

[–] gsf@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Whoa if you think about it that's true about fire alarms too

[–] brianorca@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But fire alarms usually scream when it's worth screaming about.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fire alarms scream when someone uncovers a pot of boiling water too quickly.

[–] ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's what you get for using a photoelectric smoke detector in your kitchen instead of an ionizing smoke detector!

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

They spensive :(

[–] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I joke that my kid has the communication skills of an alarm clock.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 82 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Kinda compliments how they can also throw a nuclear tantrum for absolutely no reason where you, the parent, may also have zero context for what’s going on.

[–] diffcalculus@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Have you ever missed your lunch nap? If that doesn't make you scream....

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 6 points 8 months ago

I do feel sad about skipping the siesta. Relatable.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Mine screamed at me this evening because we put a hand on a corner of the counter that he had already smacked his head on once this morning.

I don't even know anymore lol

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

To be fair they moved to Florida.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Or the alien landscapes of the Southwest

[–] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Y'all folks living in Endor or some shit, with trees everywhere. That's the real alien landscape. 👽

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The alien said from a cloud of dust cuz there's no roots or soil base

[–] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 months ago

What's a soil base?

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 8 months ago

Actually, an aerial view of Denmark would show that the vast majority is farmland, then coastline, then sub- and urban areas and THEN forests 😄

[–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Oh, geez. I grew up in the US of the '80s and '90s and was talking to a friend about all the abortion clinic bombings we had back then--like not just murdering doctors (although that did happen), bombings--and how, thinking back on it, that was a super fucked up normal to grow up with.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Before that they were firebombing churches. There was a surprising amount of bombing in the sixties and seventies.

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Wait till you hear about gun deaths

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I wondered the same thing when landing in Salt Lake City for a connecting flight.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

SLC looks wildly unnatural

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Advanced verbal skills on that toddler 😂

[–] Evia@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not necessarily. Speach and language develops at different rates in kids and I can totally see a moderately advanced two year old using a complete simple sentence.

[–] flakpanzer@lemmy.world -2 points 8 months ago

A 2 year old asking "are we still on earth?" What r u smoking bro? How many kids have you raised? I bet fucking ZERO
